OWB 10.1.0.4 released for Windows

The latest “patch” (and you’ll see why this is in quotes shortly) to OWB 10g Release 1 has just been posted in Metalink (patch number 4703215).

It’s a slightly odd patch, seeing that it requires installation into a new Oracle home and the patch installation notes read more like a major upgrade. It’s a 528MB patch… That’s a full installation mind you! Paul Narth posted in the OTN forums that there is an in place repository upgrade so you can patch from 10x to 10.1.0.4 for the repositories.

Paris in 2004… 2 years late! I have a customer who is going to keep their built Paris DW in pilot (ie, production but not officially) until the release but I can’t say that it isn’t a little uneasy running real data on a “beta.”
